Asymmetric cryptography or public-key cryptography is cryptography in which a pair of keys is used to encrypt and decrypt a message so that it arrives ...

Seems to me that the Diffie-Hellman key agreement protocol results in a symmetric shared private key. However, the books I've used for Security+ prep put it with RSA as a public-key algorithm ...

Encrypting and decrypting messages using the RSA algorithm is a complicated mathematical procedure that relies on modular arithmetic and prime numbers similarly to the way they are used in the ...

A researcher challenges a conclusion in a recent academic paper on weak Diffie-Hellman implementations that claims 66 percent of IPsec VPN connections are at risk.

The relevant encryption discussed in the paper is Diffie–Hellman key exchange (D-H), the encryption used for HTTPS, SSH, and VPN. D-H relies on a shared very large prime number. By performing ...

For background on cryptography in practice that is written by a professional in the field, with details on Diffie-Hellman, RSA and many other algorithms, find a copy of Bruce Schneier's Applied ...

Conjecture on cracked primes for the Diffie-Hellman asymmetric algorithm is in recent news, suggesting that several nations have broken primes in common use and can read all traffic: [root@host ~]# ...

The Software ECC is a cryptographic library providing the main ECDSA and ECDH functionalities: - ECDSA key generation; - ECDSA signature and verificat ...
